We need to create 5 sentences (1 per strand of Mathematical Literacy)

Can I have each group member create a 10 word sentence for each strand? (first come, first serve)
I will come back to edit the final product at 7:30pm. The reading is really loooooooooooooong...

---

My mistake... what I meant to say was: One person complete only ONE sentence.

I will highlight the chosen sentence from each strand in BLUE

Helen: Those are all really good. Do we think they should be complete sentences? (Rod)

• 1) conceptual understanding:

Comprehension of when to use concepts, ideas, operations, and relations. (Helen)
"Abiltity to make connections between the new and the old" (Siu Ling)
"Understanding allows for mutliple representations and to recognize mathematical connections" (Lindsay)

• 2) procedural fluency:

Know which skills to use to accurately solve math problems. (Helen)
"Learning the underlying fundamentals as the key to future success" (Siu Ling)
"Use of general procedures that apply to many different situations"(Lindsay)
"The underlying fundamentals which provide the key to solving problems" (Maureen-Helen-Siu Ling-Lindsay)

• 3) strategic competence:

Ability to create an action plan to solve a problem. (Helen)
"Ability to create an action plan to solve multistep problems" (Siu Ling - Helen's with a slight modification)
I Like it!! (Lindsay)
"The ability to create action plans to solve multi-step problems" (Maureen-Siu Ling-Helen)

4) adaptive reasoning:
Use of logical thought, reasoning, and justification in solving problems. (Helen)
"Ability to communciate and justify the steps taken in problem solving" (Siu Ling)
"Ability to logically communicate reasoning and justification in problem solving" (Lindsay)
"The ability to communicate, reason and justify when problem solving" (Maureen-Helen-Siu Ling-Lindsay)

• 5) productive disposition:

Belief in abilities and usefulness of math in solving problems. (Helen)
I really like Helen's description. (Lindsay)
"Productive disposition is an attitude concerning the importance of mathematics" (Rod)
"A postitive attitude on the importance and use of mathematics" (Siu Ling - Rod's with a slight modification)
(Again, I think it is a better description, but it is a sentence fragment. That may be fine, but we need to decide which route we want to go - Rod)
Math is useful and working hard improves mathematical abilities. (Vanessa)
"The attitude of self-confidence and perseverance to improve math abilities" (Maureen-Rod-Vanessa)
